Defects in SPF creams revealed in Australia

Defects in SPF creams revealed in Australia
In Australia, 18 types of sunscreen were removed from sale due to safety concerns. Investigations found that some products did not provide the protection claimed by their manufacturers.

For example, a cream labeled SPF 50 actually tested at SPF 4 and was recalled. After that, doubts arose about other products as well.

Officials are checking around 20 more creams. Some have stopped production, while others have been temporarily removed from sale.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer. Experts warn that this scandal could also affect other countries.
